Chapter 49 - Chapter 48: The Lurking Threat

Ian slowly stood up, his chest heaving violently as the violent impact just now caused him to feel a sharp pain. He looked towards the Luminary-class mutant beast that confronted Adrian not far away, and his eyes became grave.

That mutant beast had a hideous appearance, its entire body covered with scale-like skin, its limbs were slender and strong, and its eyes flashed with a cold red light. At this moment, it was staring at Adrian vigilantly, seemingly also judging how to continue its attack.

Adrian sneered coldly, his figure suddenly blurred and appeared in front of the mutant beast in an instant. The shadow power condensed in his hand swept out like a gale, quickly wrapping around the mutant beast.

The mutant beast was struck by the shadow power, its body trembled violently and let out a low roar. It quickly counterattacked, tearing through the shadow power between its claws, but Adrian nimbly dodged and quickly counterattacked.

After several rounds, the mutant beast was clearly in a disadvantageous position, it suddenly let out an ear-piercing shrill whistle, and then its body quickly disappeared from sight.

"Oh no, its ability is a chameleon!" Adrian cried out alertly, quickly taking several steps back and observing the surroundings with full concentration.

Ian quickly focused his mind and turned on the Insect Senses Enhancement, instantly increasing his perception ability dramatically. He quickly scanned the surroundings, trying to find traces of the mutant beast.

"Adrian, be careful! It's approaching your right side!" Ian quickly shouted.

Adrian immediately turned around at his words, and his Shadow Power erupted as a Shadow Blade cut into the space on his right side like a swift wind. Sure enough, the mutant beast instantly revealed its figure and was forced back a few steps, re-hiding itself in the environment.

Adrian quickly approached Ian and said in a low voice, "It's too good at hiding, I can't see its trail, can you determine its location?"

Ian nodded his head in response, "I can see the traces it leaves behind when it moves, but it will have to be watched carefully, I will show you the direction and you are ready to launch your attack."

Adrian nodded his head in understanding and the two quickly formed a coordinated formation, keeping their backs to each other, always alert to the movements around them.

Ian focused his mind with all his might, and he keenly caught a faint fluctuation, "Adrian, left front, ten meters!"

Adrian didn't hesitate and quickly launched his attack, a raging shadow energy quickly covering over. But the mutant beast also seemed to have sensed Ian's special ability and quickly shifted its position, successfully avoiding the attack.

The mutant beast did not retreat, but instead kept trying to sneak attack the two from different angles. Every time it attacked, it narrowly missed.

Sweat gradually broke out on Ian's forehead, his sensory enhancement ability was still very strenuous in trying to capture the trajectory of a Luminary class's movements, especially in a high intensity battle. He clenched his teeth and quickly said, "Adrian, watch your back!"

Adrian quickly turned around, the two exchanged positions and once again released a furious shadow attack, the mutant beast was once again forced to reveal its form, but this time Adrian was already prepared and quickly followed up with an attack.

The mutant beast couldn't dodge in time and was hit by Adrian's shadow energy, leaving a visible wound on its body. It growled angrily and once again faded into the environment.

Ian took a deep breath and focused his mind to continue observing, "It's starting to become impatient, this time I'll tell you its course of action in advance, so you can prepare in advance."

Adrian nodded slightly, the power of the Shadow coalescing more tightly in his hands, ready to unleash a fatal blow at any time.

A few seconds later, Ian keenly captured the extremely subtle movement traces of the mutant beast, and he quickly signaled, "Directly in front of you, it's preparing to charge over in a straight line!"

Adrian calmly gazed ahead as his Shadow Energy continued to coalesce. The moment the mutant beast approached, he violently launched his attack, powerful shadow energy pouring out like a torrent, "Battle technique - Shadow Stab! "This was Adrian's strongest single attack.

The mutant beast was completely hit by this strike and fell to the ground with a miserable cry, revealing its form once again. This time, it was severely injured, and it was already difficult for it to remain hidden.

Ian quickly seized this opportunity and swung his lightning long knife, chopping at the mutant beast with a thunderous force, the blade of the knife carried the violent lightning power and ruthlessly pierced into the mutant beast's body.

The mutant beast struggled in pain, but at this moment, it was no longer able to fight back, and soon collapsed on the ground, no longer moving.

After the battle, Adrian quickly walked up to Ian, patted him on the shoulder, and his tone was one of rare admiration, "I'm not sure how much I can do to help. rare admiration, "What kind of tactic is this for you kid, you actually managed to discover its trail, without you, I'm afraid this battle wouldn't have been so easy."

Ian smiled faintly, relaxing slightly, "I was just a bit lucky, if it continues to hide, I'm afraid we'll be in more trouble."

Seeing that Ian didn't answer positively, Adrian didn't pursue, "Everyone has some hidden means, but after this battle, I'm looking forward more and more to what's hidden in that tall building in front."
